compsand sighting? at the lane.

I was watching the surf at the lane tonight and saw someone on what looked like a balsa compsand. A little hard to see in the lighting at dusk, but I saw a vent plug and it looked like the butt-joint balsa layup I’ve seen on compsands here. No logos on the board. The rider was sitting pretty deep in the slot, and was one of the top guys there tonight. Fast walls when the sets came through. I was going to ask him about the board, but it got dark and I had to ride my bike home before he got out.

Just wondering, was that anyone from sways? Are balsa compsands sans logo being built for sale around here?

Any info would be great if someone knows something.

Sounds like you saw Christian (cj3). He makes a nice looking board and knows how to surf it.

i was suspicious he was a ripper

those escondido pics of him dropping into some bombs

were a bit of a give away

Hi Pat

Christian,

Looked like a great board from up on the cliff. Don’t know if I’d run into you on the water since I never surf the slot when it’s big. Still getting my bearings on a short board. Looks like the board performs quite well, or that might just be the rider?
